Pokemon GO adds new Shiny variants occasionally, and the Rowlet Community Day January 2024 event debuts the much-awaited Shiny Rowlet. After the debut of Shiny Rowlet, players can also access the Shiny variants of its evolutions in different ways. After getting a Shiny Rowlet, the doors to Shiny Dartrix and Shiny Decidueye open.
The power levels and stats of Shiny and Standard variants are the same. Rowlet is a dual Grass and Flying-type monster with a maximum Pokemon GO CP of 1196. Once the Alola region monster evolves into a Dratrix, its maximum CP rises to 1950, further boosting to a maximum of 3137 when it evolves into a Decidueye. These monsters possess extreme battle abilities and powerful movesets, adding more value to their Shiny variants. That said, this guide explores the best ways to get Shiny Rowlet, Shiny Dartrix, and Shiny Decidueye in the game.

How To Get Shiny Rowlet In Pokemon GO
Pokemon GO trainers have different ways of getting Rowlet and Shiny Rowlet in the game. Shiny Rowlet spawns in the wild and is a Research task encounter. Regarding Shiny Dartrix, it comes as a 4-star raid boss and is also a Research task encounter. Getting any of these two Shiny variants leads to getting a Shiny Decidueye.
Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Rowlet In The Wild
Rowlet is a wild spawn; players can also encounter its Shiny variant lurking in the wild. But to encounter a Shiny Rowlet in the wild, players must catch up to its Shiny odds. To do so, one needs to encounter multiple Standard Rowlet. Players can take advantage of Pokemon GO events like Rowlet Community Day, which feature the monster and boost its wild spawn rate.
There are also several Pokemon GO items that can increase the monster spawn rate in the wild. Incense, Lure Modules, and the Weather Boost effect can significantly boost wild spawn rate around certain areas. While Incense attaches to a player and increases the spawn rate wherever they walk, Lure Modules attach to a PokeStop or Gym and increase the spawn rate around that area. Weather Boost increases wild spawn rate around areas with certain weather conditions.
Rowlet experiences an increase in the spawn rate around areas with sunny and windy weather. Players can find a PokeStop or Gym around sunny and windy weather areas, attach a Lure Module, activate an Incense, and traverse around the place. This strategy stacks their effects and notably increases Rowlet's spawn rate, especially during events featuring the monster. With boosted Rowlet wild spawn rates, players may catch up to its Shiny odds. But the Shiny encounter isn’t guaranteed.
Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Rowlet Through Research Tasks
Pokemon GO trainers can also get Shiny Rowlet as a Research quest reward. The Rowlet Community Day event sets Rowlet encounters as Special Research and Field Research rewards. Shiny Rowlet spawning instead of a Standard variant is also possible.

How To Get Shiny Dartrix In Pokemon GO
There are multiple ways to catch a Dartrix and Dartrix. Dartrix comes as a Research quest reward, and completing some tasks might reward encounters with its Shiny variant. In addition to that, Pokemon GO players can also encounter a Shiny variant by winning Dartrix 4-star raids.
Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Dartrix Through 4-Star Raids
If players win the Dartrix raids, one might encounter a Shiny Dartrix near the raid location. It is important to note that the Shiny encounter isn’t guaranteed. Match the monster’s Shiny odds by winning multiple Dartrix 4-star raids and encountering several Standard variants. To do so, players must possess carefully selected counters.

Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Decidueye
While players can get Shiny Decidueye as Research quest rewards in featured events, the best way is to catch a Shiny Rowlet or Shiny Dartrix and evolve it. If one has a Shiny Rowlet, they need to evolve it into a Shiny Dartrix at the cost of 25 Pokemon GO Candy.
Players with a Shiny Dartrix can evolve the monster into a Shiny Decidueye. The evolution process costs a total of 100 Candy in Pokemon GO. Players can complete the Candy requirement by catching and transferring numerous Rowlet, completing certain Research quests, or through the Buddy system.
